A destabilised and wrecked Iraq, thanks to a needless US Republican caused war led to the rise of ISIS, in turn contributing to the murderous chaos next door in Syria. In both cases America shot itself in the foot and allowed the increase of their opponents power in the region, Russia in Syria and Iran in Syria and Iraq.
Own goal America, thanks George W. Bush and the Republican Party for weakening Western influence in the area and needlessly blowing hundreds of trillions.
But at least Republicans can say none of that wasted money was spent on the American working class, the American poor, American healthcare or American infrastructure.
